Madonna Kicks off European Tour Leg with Sell-Out Gig

Pop icon Madonna will kick off the European leg of her world tour in Manchester tonight.All 14,000 tickets for the Material Girl’s first UK performance as part of her Re-Invention Tour sold out within an hour of going on sale in May. She will perform two shows in the city’s MEN Arena before playing five in London and one in Dublin. She will then move on to play the remaining dates in mainland Europe.
Ticket prices for the Manchester gigs started at £75 and ranged up to £150.
The last time the queen of pop performed in the city was in 1984 at the legendary Hacienda night spot, which has since closed down.

Fans will undoubtedly hope to hear a few of her classic hits such as Vogue, Material Girl, Like A Prayer and Papa Don’t Preach, mixed in with her latest songs.Only one Manchester date was originally planned but a second was added following huge public demand for tickets, bringing the total number of performances in the tour to 56.Source: www.scotman.com / Charlie Hamilton
